I have to agree whole-heartedly. How many people here have actually written their congress-person about things like the DMCA? How many people have donated to EFF to support the lawsuits that they are fighting for _us_?!
This is a little off topic, but how can Yahoo call this "news" It's a press-release from Adobe!

Talk about one sided. This is pathetic. (Yes, for the record Yahoo does state "Source: Adobe Systems Incorporated" but really...this is hardly journalism.)
This is a bit divergent from the topic, but I found a very usefull aspect of this tool:
Finding web bugs! Those 1x1 pixel images show up everywhere now! Well, at least they do when I'm using Mosaic 1.0
Jump to http://www.cnn.com with the mosaic emulator and right on the top, upper right hand size is a small blue square. Gottcha.
He may be in need of a clue, but isn't this the sort of thing that the common folk look at to make their decisions.
If Linux is ever going to make it into mainstream, the mainstream will be looking at things just like that. Microsoft will come out with an ad campaign: "We've got less bugs than." and the general public won't think any more about it. They will accept is as given that Windows is better because of it.
So again it raises the question. Should Linux be mainstream? Is it even close to being ready for mainstream? I know a lot of zealots will start flaming away on this one, but when it comes to the general public, they are like sheep. Large numbers (unless it's their salery) frighten the sheep...
Does anyone out there have Moody's email address? Maybe someone could explain NICELY how he completely missed the boat on the bugs.
Isn't this inherently an anti-BOFH's thing? Don't true BOFH's loath and hate from the quiet solitude of their server rooms? They don't allow anyone in there anyway, so how could we honor them?:)
I actually think this speaks well for the/. community. Yes,/. posted the link to the site, but it was the community that (overall) came to the conclusion that this was a hoax. When I read the article and the comments, I came to pretty much the same conclusion.
What? Star Office is very configurable. Now, I've not tried to not install everything (i.e. remove major components) but I know you can uncheck them if you don't want them installed. I spent quite a bit of time checking and unchecking very specialized components of the StarOffice family...
Maybe you need to go through the custom install again?
(lets try this again, as obviously I can't use the preview button).
This isn't even a matter of/. testifying, it's a matter of Andover bending over... (poor pun).
Andover has a vested interest in keeping their shareholders happy little clams. If ratting out some crackers, hackers, freakers or even script kiddies does this, then I believe (at least) that they'd do it in a New York minute.
I know this will probably be treated as a trolling message, but I think the point is valid...

So let see. They removed the GUI, removed the Mooing and made client roll-out quicker, simpler, and more effective.
Then, they turned around and encouraged others to apply 3rd party applications to restore "eye and ear candy" to the client.
Sounds like it was just a terrible thing to do.
The GUI client wasn't just the CLI with a GUI wrapper. It was a whole 'nother fork to the client mix. It was complicated, it was slow(er) and it caused many delays in the rollout of Win32 clients.

If that isn't a paragraph ripped right out of "Schemes and Scams for Dummies" I don't know what is.
I have set aside my nostalgia, and that's how I know that the movies are for kids. I'm not arguing the plot or story line about the Episode 1. There were a lot of problems with it (least of which was the fact that Lucas simply re-wrote Episode 5 and 6 as Episode 1).
I agree completely (though the actual content of the film is something to be argued about later).
The film is for kids. Period. You (general) were a kid when you saw it, now the next generation is getting a taste. Just because the seried didn't appear to "grow up" with everyone else doesn't mean it sucks.

for a great look at the wonderful wierdness of black holes, the fabric of space, and worm holes grab a copy of:

"Black Holes & Time Warps: Einsteins Outrageous Legacy" by prominant physicst Kip Thorne. (There's even a forward by Hawking
It's a great non-technical look at all really fun stuff in the cosmos (both fact and theory)

The "Linmdoem" pages here should provide more than enough info on the subject.

This is a really good post and well worthy of quite a few + mod points. I wish I could articulate (and expand) my original post as well as you did.
I'm clearly not that clever.
Why is it that 2 seconds after a scientific discovery is made that people think it should be used to slice bread or fix the worlds problems?
There are no direct practical applications from the tau neutrino find. This is not to say that there won't be in the near or even the distant future.
This is about understanding how the universe works. Maybe it's to abstract for people to grasp, but to me it's a nobel pursuit.
What?

I've seen nothing in the tech industry to suggest that they would do otherwise.
I see the newspaper industry as very separate from the techie industry and having a MUCH firmer backbone.
When was the last time you heard of a tech company doing anything like refusing to divulge information of it's members, employees, or contacts?

There are very good reasons to not open source the code and they are all outlined on the website (at least they were last time I checked).

A very quick and easy search of the distributed.net site will show you that the "moo-ing" is still available with a 3rd party application.
